Blues Revue Magazine Review on Andre & the J-Tones in Ireland
Review in Blues Revue Magazine about The Harvest Time Blues Festival in Monaghan, Ireland!Thank you to Dave Scott in England from BluesWax!
- "A refreshingly, alternative musical experience was provided by the Canadian group Andre and The
J-Tones. Not many blues bands have a song list which includes “Do You Love Me,” “On The Road Jack,” and “I Feel Good.” However, a combination of clever arrangements, tasteful guitar work, and exceptionally talented saxophone and trumpet players, contributed to a jazz, pop, and soul fusion sound which the audience loved."
